Language lists for resource selection based on language text direction

A computer-readable storage device comprising instructions that, when executed on a processor of a multilingual device, cause the multilingual device to select a resource based on language, by:

• receiving a user order of at least two languages;
• and
• fulfilling, by an operating system of the multilingual device, a resource request by an application on the multilingual device for a resource from a resource set that contains resources in a plurality of languages, wherein the resource request specifies a suitability logic indicating a degree of suitability with the application for individual languages based on compatibility with the application of a text direction, a text, or a font associated with the individual languages by:
• for each of the plurality of languages, calculating a weight representing the degree of suitability of the respective one of the plurality of languages for the resource request according to the suitability logic;
• generating, by the multilingual device, a selection order according to weights of the respective ones of the plurality of languages;
• meshing the user order and the selection order to identify, among the languages that are associated with at least one resource of the resource set, a selected language;
• selecting, by the operating system of the multilingual device, a selected resource from the resource set that is associated with the selected language;
• and
• presenting the selected resource by the application on an output device of the multilingual device.
